These "unused classes" might prove interesting for custom made Siege maps. I wonder if the rest of the files needed to use them are intact?

 

Now some unused objective messages (from Siege Destroyer I assume):

If you want to look at these yourself, they're found in a file called "siege.str"

[Tesla]

Ooo, juicy.

Some of those objectives sound like they where going to be used in a space setting siege map.

 

(Oh and Kurgan, pppllleeassse play on your server NOW I'm going back in...hope to see you soon. XD)

[Kurgan]

The above files are from assets0, assets1 has some .team files which contain the lists used in the maps. Note that there's 5 Siege team lists (actually 10, since there are two sides to each scenario), rather than the usual 3 (or 6 if you count both sides for each) actually used in the game.

 

Well as you can see I had some lag problems (ISP to blame?) tonight, but the server is a little better now if you want to join again. ; )

[Kurgan]

Now what I REALLY REALLY want to know is this:

 

What are the options you can plug into g_siegeteam1/g_siegeteam2??

 

"none" is the default, but everything I've tried so far hasn't worked (either gives you an error as you join dumping you out or it locks up if you choose that team).

 

Or does Siege Destroyer have to be re-created to make it work?

 

A real shame Raven isn't releasing this (maybe they'll pack it with the SDK when that finally comes out?)..

[lukeskywalker1]

I heard something about raven making a star destroyer map... i dont know what it is... or if its true, or anything else about it.

[t3rr0r]

i thought lec said no to it?

[ExcelsioN]

Look at some of those classes...Assasin! Pilot!...imagine would could have been.

 

I really do hope that Raven release these classes, and the star destroyer map later on. It would mean that I would play JA a lot more than I do now (because I'm a BF1942 fan, so I like big maps with lots of different vehicles and classes). JA's siege mode failed to please me enough, but I think if the star destroyer map was added, siege mode would be pretty cool.

[Kurgan]

Well the thing is, according to Raven the reason it was left out was that it was beyond the scope of the project and unfinished.

 

I suppose if they had time they could finish it or at least toss it in with the SDK.

 

We don't really know how far along it was, but apparently they had part of it done before the game came out (via that obscure magazine shot).

 

 

PS: I don't want to raise false hopes about it appearing someday officially, only to speculate about what these incomplete resources could be used for in Siege map making...

[Butt_Whisper]

I can't wait till someone gets thoses classes kick'in; and the maps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those things could make this game blow up big time. I can't wait

[Kurgan]

Now that the SDK is out, I wonder what stuff they included in the source?

[razorace]

They included lots of wang.

[Business_Eskimo]

Very little in the SDK appears to be of any use except for the new BehavEd, IMO.

[razorace]

That seems pretty picky to me. They included all their basically unfinished vehicle code and the way they do saber on saber collisions in SP.

[Kurgan]

A trip down memory lane... one of our dreams was finally realized. Asteroids Mod, woot!

 

Again a big thank you to the guys at Raven who made this dream a reality. ; )
